Suffering Quotes

Suffering by nature or chance never seems so painful as suffering inflicted on us by the arbitrary will of another Picture Quote #1

Concerning God, freewill and destiny: Of all that Earth has been or yet may be, all that vain men imagine or believe, or hope can paint or suffering may achieve, we descan'ted Picture Quote #1

But you cannot expect every writer to dwell on human suffering. I think my books do deal with grave issues. People who say they are too positive probably haven't read them Picture Quote #1

Who will tell whether one happy moment of love or the joy of breathing or walking on a bright morning and smelling the fresh air, is not worth all the suffering and effort which life implies Picture Quote #1

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dream Picture Quote #1

Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering Picture Quote #1

Clergymen and people who use phrases without wisdom sometimes talk of suffering as a mystery. It is really a revelation Picture Quote #1

Suffering is one very long moment. We can not divide it by seasons. We can only record it's moods and chronicle their return Picture Quote #1

It is so easy for people to have sympathy with suffering. It is so difficult for them to have sympathy with thought Picture Quote #1

I can very well do without God both in my life and in my painting, but I cannot, suffering as I am, do without something which is greater than I am, which is my life, the power to create Picture Quote #1

One must learn to love, and go through a good deal of suffering to get to it. And the journey is always towards the other soul Picture Quote #1

If anything, we older people yearn for a peaceful world even more than young people do. We are the ones who lost friends or relatives in some war. We are the ones who have lived a lifetime of seeing and reading about human suffering Picture Quote #1

The only medicine for suffering, crime, and all other woes of mankind, is wisdom. Teach a man to read and write, and you have put into his hands the great keys of the wisdom box. But it is quite another thing to open the box Picture Quote #1

Without health life is not life; it is only a state of langour and suffering - an image of death Picture Quote #1

Pain hardens, and great pain hardens greatly, whatever the comforters say, and suffering does not ennoble, though it may occasionally lend a certain rigid dignity of manner to the suffering frame Picture Quote #1

Slavery is no more sinful, by the Christian code, than it is sinful to wear a whole coat, while another is in tatters, to eat a better meal than a neighbor, or otherwise to enjoy ease and plenty, while our fellow creatures are suffering and in want Picture Quote #1

Does Djilas, who is himself a writer, not know what human suffering and the human heart are? Can't he understand it if a soldier who has crossed thousands of kilometers through blood and fire and death has fun with a woman or takes some trifle? Picture Quote #1

Life is full of misery, loneliness, and suffering - and it's all over much too soon Picture Quote #1

To choose a hardship for ourselves is our only defence against that hardship. This is what is meant by accepting suffering... Those who, by their very nature, can suffer completely, utterly, have an advantage Picture Quote #1

Suffering is by no means a privilege, a sign of nobility, a reminder of God. Suffering is a fierce, bestial thing, commonplace, uncalled for, natural as air. It is intangible; no one can grasp it or fight against it; it dwells in time - is the same thing as time; if it comes in fits and starts, that is only so as to leave the sufferer more defenseless during the moments that follow, those long moments when one relives the last bout of torture and waits for the next Picture Quote #1

Happiness is not a reward - it is a consequence. Suffering is not a punishment - it is a result Picture Quote #1

The whole of what we know is a system of compensations. Each suffering is rewarded; each sacrifice is made up; every debt is paid Picture Quote #1

Try to exclude the possibility of suffering which the order of nature and the existence of free wills involve, and you find that you have excluded life itself Picture Quote #1

Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest Picture Quote #1

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering Picture Quote #1

Few can believe that suffering, especially by others, is in vain. Anything that is disagreeable must surely have beneficial economic effects Picture Quote #1

Just because I work incredible good out of unspeakable tragedies doesn't mean I orchestrate the tragedies. Don't ever assume that my using something means I caused it or that I need it to accomplish my purposes. That will only lead you to false notions about me. Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors Picture Quote #1

Life is suffering. Life is not resistance to suffering. The point of life is to suffer. This is why we're here: We're here to suffer. I believe in a higher power that compassionately allows suffering for us as a race, to grow and mature Picture Quote #1

Something in the heart of most human beings simply cannot abide pain inflicted on the innocent, especially children. Even broken men serving in the worst correctional facilities will often first take out their own rage on those who have caused suffering to children. Even in such a world of relative morality, causing harm to a child is still considered absolutely wrong. Period! Picture Quote #1

Grace doesn't depend on suffering to exist, but where there is suffering you will find grace in many facets and colors Picture Quote #1
